Excellent Quality
I spent a while looking through reviews of comparable speakers and finally bit the bullet on this one.For audio I typically gravitate towards Sony, but was put of by the sheer size of the comparable speakers; for me, the priorities are sound quality (signature), portability (moving from room to room) and durability (something this expensive needs to last!).I am pleased to report this beauty ticks all boxes, and has exceeded expectations.Of most note is the sound signature; I tend to drive the speaker through a portable HIBY DAP player, and the pairing is excellent providing a wonderful layered sound. (Also have the option of driving a wired connection)Also worth noting the Bose app is brilliant - simple and effectiveThis one is an investment, and the build suggests it will stand the test of time.

Outstanding
I bought this because the Sonos speaker I bought some time ago disappoints. This is smaller but the sound quality is very much better - as ‘What Hifi?’ Recommends, I’ve turned the bass down a bit (I listen mainly to Classical and Spoken Word). If you are a bass fiend, this won’t disappoint. The sound is full and rich, clear in the treble. The volume is awesome; it fills my high-ceilinged Victorian rooms without trying.About the size and weight of a housebrick, it is solid and waterproof. The handle makes it easily portable. Very easy to pair with ipad.I’m delighted by this. Am tempted to buy another one so I can pair them for stereo.

Fantastic sound
Absolutely fantastic small speaker with a lot of bass. It is just as described, perfect for the garden which is what we purchased it for. Very easy to set up. From the weight you can tell its great quality & its nice & compact to move it around. Beautiful sound.I would very highly recommend this speaker if you want a small portable speaker with a great sound.

Epic quality speaker from Bose
Beautifully made. Nice simple quality design rather other speakers which look like a tacky disco box.Sound is epic. Huge base. You’ll need to turn it down with the eq in the companion app.App is ok, limited but that’s all you need. Option of being able to pair 2 for even bigger sound but I don’t think you’ll need too.I had a SoundLink mini before which epic but this is 3 times louder.Battery is great and you can even charge your phone from it.Is it worth £400 at release last year? No. But you’ll find them for £300 here on Amazon on prime days and that is a good price for what you’re getting.I also love the fact that it’s waterproof dust proof and impact proof and you link it to your Bose home system if you have one.

Another excellent Bose speaker!
I bought this to replace a Bose SoundTouch 30 speaker which was much too large for what I need it for nowadays - mostly as a desktop speaker when working from home.This is a solid, weighty and well made speaker, with a sound that very nearly matches the quality of the SoundTouch speaker - perhaps lacking a little of the warmth, but still very detailed. I mostly listen to "classical" music and BBC Radio 4, and very impressed with the virtual soundstage and clarity. I find the EQ perfect and not too bass heavy, but the EQ option via the app works well if you need it.My only criticism is: there's too much of a leap between the volume increments. They need to be more nuanced. It's often difficult to get it at just the right volume - it's sometimes either too quiet or too loud with no option to go in-between. Hope this is fixed in a future firmware update.

Highly recommend
So. I started to panic once I ordered when I noticed from Amazon “frequently returned items” Well. No need to worry. Yes £300 is a lot of money but first party over and I have no regrets. In fact I’m going to buy another as you can easily link two for stereo or party mode. Worth the money. Recommend

Really poor sound for the price
As a DJ this is probably the worst speaker I have used and ive tried many. I cant understand how this has 5* reviews. Did Bose listen to the speaker and compare it against other speakers before selling it. The speaker is not dynamic but dull and at mid volume it's distorts everything and sounds muddy and the treble is harsh. It sounds like someone is constantly standing infront of the speaker and you never get that crystal clear sound which is what you would expect at this price point. Theres very little seperation between the instruments and there are £20 PC speakers that sound far better and clearer. Out of the box the speaker has no life and is dull as anything. After setting the base to max 10, mids to 6 and treble to max 10 playing hi res or flac tracks does make some difference but to charge £399 or £299 is ridiculous, so sending back. The outer case is good Bose quality but the internal speakers are poor.At the max its only worth £100. Bose need to up there game instead of pushing out poor quality products using the Bose name.
